Who wants to look at myc pictures?

I read here not too long ago that if you see more than one type of myc growing in a jar, it's probably contaminated, but I've been watching these guys for a while now and I'd like to get a second (or third or fourth!) opinion. Sorry there's so many pics; I wanted to be thorough. You can probably tell by looking, but these are BRF. It's worth noting that after sterilization, some jars' substrate appeared rather wet, but I decided to try my luck and learn something by watching firsthand instead of redoing them right away. These have been without tape, in a 70-75F degree spot for 29 days. Most of the jars turned out very nice; no real room for ambiguity. But these ones have me stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, even with tinfoil covering the tops, I must not have crinkled them tight enough when PCing. Or maybe my substrate was too wet to begin with, but I was pretty careful to reach field capacity (I think that's what it's called; been trying to do my homework when I can). I figured I was bound to lose a few. I may wait just to see it actually contam though. I'd like to get a good idea what that looks like.

RogerRabbit said: Field capacity is a measurement of bulk substrates such as manure or coir, and doesn't apply to BRF because it would make it too wet. A properly made batch of brf that is ready to be loaded into jars will have no water at all squeeze out if you pick up a handful and squeeze hard. It will however, be damp. RR
